Psalm 129

A song of ascents.

1 “They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”
    let Israel say;
2 “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
    but they have not gained the victory over me.
3 Plowmen have plowed my back
    and made their furrows long.
4 But the Lord is righteous;
    he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”

5 May all who hate Zion
    be turned back in shame.
6 May they be like grass on the roof,
    which withers before it can grow;
7 a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,
    nor one who gathers fill his arms.
8 May those who pass by not say to them,
    “The blessing of the Lord be on you;
    we bless you in the name of the Lord.”

What’s the difference between being oppressed and losing the victory?

Psalm 128

A SONG OF ASCENTS.

1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
    who walk in obedience to him.
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor;
    blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
    within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
    around your table.
4 Yes, this will be the blessing
    for the man who fears the Lord.

5 May the Lord bless you from Zion;
    may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
    all the days of your life.
6 May you live to see your children’s children—
    peace be on Israel.

What is the prosperity of Jerusalem?

How does obedience to God bless your human relationships?

Self-Limiting

Posted on by under Dreams and Visions, Pastor Wrinkles, The Stories

God says, “The time for self-limiting has come to and end. This will require the fruit of the spirit, self control, in order to stop the self from limiting by its behavior. The self…the flesh and the soul… must come under the control of the Spirit. He will stop your self from limiting you by its desire, hunger, emotionalism or even its untempered logic. In this you will reach the Spirit’s potential for you.”
